 * @brief The IDataSeries aims to declare a data series.
 *
 * A data series is an entity that contains at least :
 * - one dataset representing the x-axis
 * - one dataset representing the values
 *
 * Each dataset is represented by an ArrayData, and is associated with a unit.
 *
 * An ArrayData can be unidimensional or two-dimensional, depending on the implementation of the
 * IDataSeries. The x-axis dataset is always unidimensional.
